Ubuntu is a popular desktop OS, that uses the Linux kernel, and its server release is getting very popular too. The reason is that the OS is extremely light and it will run on almost any kind of hardware without issues, utilizing its resources to the fullest. Ubuntu is also pretty reliable and secure and all Long-Term Support (LTS) editions are supported for at least 5 years, which guarantees that you should have a protected and stable software environment on your website hosting server all of the time. Furthermore, Ubuntu has one of the biggest user communities globally, which means that if you experience any problem or have any question, you will find lots of resources on the Internet. Among the basic advantages of this OS is that it contains a great number of software packages that can be freely customized according to your needs and the requirements of the apps which you want to run, not to mention that you will not have to pay any kind of license fees at any time. In comparison, other Operating Systems are paid and their program code isn't accessible, which means that it can't be changed.

Ubuntu in VPS Servers

Ubuntu is available with all our Linux VPS servers and you can get a VPS running it in just one hour. 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are available, so you can choose the one which you need if the software that you want to run on the website hosting server has particular system requirements in this regard. You can also select whether your Ubuntu-powered VPS should be set up without a Control Panel, in which case you will have full root access and you can install anything through a console; or if the Hepsia Control Panel should be installed on it, in which case you'll have an online interface and all of the necessary web server, MySQL, FTP, mail server, etcetera. software will be pre-installed. The root access in the second case will be more restricted, but this type of installation is more effective for users with less experience. We can also maintain your Ubuntu up-to-date regularly if you add our Managed Services upgrade. You will be able to do so during the VPS order process or at any later time using your billing Control Panel.

Ubuntu in Dedicated Servers

You are able to obtain Ubuntu with each of our dedicated server plans, because we provide 32-bit and 64-bit editions of this Operating System. This way, you are able to select the more appropriate of these two, based on the type of applications which you wish to install and run and on the system requirements they have regarding the Operating System. You'll have root-level access to the server, which provides you with full control over the software setting. We'll install just the Apache web server software, so you can add whatever else you may need, even if it is not related directly to web sites, such as a VOIP server, for instance. You are able to manage everything using a console, but if you want, you can also set up a web hosting Control Panel, on condition that it is compatible with Ubuntu. If you order our optional Managed Services bundle, we'll maintain your Operating System up-to-date on a weekly basis and will ensure that you have the latest software packages for a stable and risk-free server environment.
